One thought on “Something usually overlooked”

I learned something new, I didn’t know there was a campaign dedicated to online bullying. Thats really interesting. I have seen a lot of movies and TV shows that are about cyber bullying and I do think its a big issue. High schoolers that cyber bully are just little pansies that can’t say it to someones face.
